A Place I Called Home for Nine Years
Transitions can be and usually are a hard time for people but many fail to realize that there is also an opportunity for growth. I did not realize the opportunity given to me when I graduated from my elementary school, St. John’s then went on to Lane Tech. Looking back though, I did take advantage of it. Leaving a place where my graduating class was 13 to a high school with over 4,000 students was intimidating. Transitioning from a small, Lutheran school to a Chicago Public School was a culture shock. I faced a number of difficulties but it helped me grow into who I am today. There is opportunity in every situation whether good or bad.
